“I may be Superman—the strongest individual on the planet—but no individual stands alone. Only a fool tries to go it alone.

“This is my city, but only because I get by with a little help from my friends. The world—my city—is far too complex, too confusing, for any one person.

“If I've learned anything in this life, it's that community—my willingness to work with others—just makes me stronger. And even with the risks of trust, of vulnerability... it's community that gets me through the bad times.

“I'm just trying to do the right thing, and sometimes that's a slippery deal. You always hope that it comes down to good and evil, black and white...

“...but things don't always shake out that way. Who gets to hold power, and how much of it?

“Most times it's obvious who you don't want holding power...

“...but how far do you go to keep them from that power?

“Do you do whatever is necessary?

“These are the times I need community.

“The times that twist your gut, even when you know what must be done.

“The times of uncertainty—of doubt...

“The times of sickening betrayal.

“Sometimes I wish I could stand alone... immune to the heartbreak that even an icon can feel.”
